Are the spark jobs tasks that you expect to end, or apps that you expect
to run forever?

They are tasks that run forever. The jobs are subscribers to RabbitMQ
queues that process
messages in batches.

Do your jobs need to write to the file system, or do they access a
shared/distributed file system somehow?

The jobs write to shared filesystem.

Do you need things like a static IP allocated to your jobs?

No.

Are your spark jobs serving any web traffic?

No.
